KL Sky Tour soft launch by Cempaka Helicopter

Today I am so happy to have an opportunity to have a ride on Helicopter. This is my first experience to have a KL Sky tour during the launching.

Welcome Speech and Presentation by Dato James

Cempaka Helicopter Corporation Sdn Bhd’s (CHCSB) main office is located in Peninsular Malaysia at the Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport, Subang, as well as operations in Langkawi and Lake Titiwangsa KL and opening soon in Kuala Terengganu, Penang and Malacca.

They provide a wide range of services including tours, corporate and VIP transfers and private helicopter charters. They have been established since 2004 and have a current Air Operator Certificate (AOC) from the Department of Civil Aviation, Malaysia (DCAM) for Public Transport.

Speech by Datuk Zakaria

Currently they are operating from 2 locations, namely Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport in Subang and Langkawi Island. They permanently have 1 Robinson R44 stationed full time in Langkawi flying tourists on joy flights around all 99 islands.

Their operations out of Subang Airport are a mixture of joy flights around Kuala Lumpur and the surrounding countryside, aerial photograply and general aerial work.

2016 will also see the start of their operations on the waterfront in Kuala Terengganu. This location will be operating between March and September. Again, their intention is to offer affordable joy flights to the masses along with resort transfers to the islands.

Cempaka Helicopter Corporation strives to be the best helicopter service provider in the Asian Region:

They offer world class facilities combined with many years of experience in the aviation industry, delivering a best-in-class service that caters to all types of commercial helicopter requirements. We aim to make helicopter rides more accessible to international and local tourists alike while giving them the experience of a birds’ eye view of beautiful Malaysia.

Speech by YBhg Tan Sri Datuk Seri M Kayveas

The KL Sky Tour (KLST) is an initiative of Cempaka Helicopters in collaboration with Dewan Bandaraya Kuala Lumpur (DBKL) and the Kuala Lumpur Tourism Bureau (KLTB).

Due to its strategic location, the Titiwangsa Helipad offers a unique opportunity to provide international and domestic tourists a chance to see the incredible KL skyline all within a 6 minute ride making it truly accessible for a wide range of people with different budgets.

We will also be offering 15, 30 & 45 minute rides for those with greater spending power. Our aim is to work closely with other tourism partner companies to develop this new product into one of KL's must visit attractions.
